What would you say?

There are times as a parent where Carter asks a question and I feel like he is just not ready for the real answer. Today was one of those days....and it's pretty comical.
Kris had pulled everything out of my cabinet under my sink because we are remodeling (that's a whole other post!) including a box with tampons in it. Carter pulled a tampon out of the box and said, "Daddy, what is this?" Of course Kris said, "Ask Mommy." So I said the first though that went through my head, "It's a paint brush." Later when we were putting the things back under the sink, he said, "Mommy, here's your box of paintbrushes." Ha!
